Via Scoop.it – Serial TwitterBy Lauren Indvik – http://bit.ly/wgYRDw @laureni The BBC, The Huffington Post and The Guardian are the three most viral news sources on Facebook and Twitter, according to a new report. The rankings, compiled by Dublin-based Newswhip – http://bit.ly/yXRe8m , were determined by the number of stories that received more than 100 Twitter mentions and more than 100 Facebook Likes in January. Sites with paywalls, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Financial Times were not included. Two main trends emerged from the Facebook numbers. One, the popularity of UK news sites. Three of the top five news sites on Facebook are UK-based. Another, The Telegraph, was number 11. The second was the prevalence of gossip sites in the top 25, including, as mentioned, The Daily Mail, as well as Jezebel, Perez Hilton and People. TMZ (28) and The Sun (32) followed close behind.
